At a commencement concert and ceremony on May 10-11, 2013, Berklee celebrated its new alumni, as well as honorary doctors of music Carole King, Annie Lennox, and Willie Nelson.

Nelson and Lennox performed with students during the commencement concert. During her commencement address remarks, Annie Lennox said, “Consider this: wherever you think you’re heading right now might turn out to take a completely different path. What looks like an ending might actually be the start of a brand new beginning. Wherever and however we find ourselves, what a privilege it is to enrich our lives through music, the incredible universal language of the soul. Enter it wholeheartedly, make it yours to share with the world in the very best way you can.”
